Please use code tags. Nobody wants to wade through this code without it being properly formatted.

You are missinjg some data here: Is this the main form of a project? Are you counting times the program has run, or times the form is loaded during a single run? Are you connecting to a database where a value could be saved? Are you counting for one instance …

First of all you put your code into a code block so that we can read it easier, like so: [CODE=visual basic]Private Sub AutoNumberNo() try Dim strsql As String strsql = "SELECT MAX(Serial_No)+1 FROM Cutting" Dim com As New SqlCommand(strsql, objconnection) txtsrno.Text = com.ExecuteScalar() ' result will appear in textbox …

Do you want to read raw data or interface with a driver or api? Either way, this is not a simple task. To read raw data you would have to write your own driver to interface with USB devices. Look at [URL="http://www.osdev.org/wiki/USB"]http://www.osdev.org/wiki/USB[/URL] for assistance.

I'm confused as to the need for another array. If you have an array of names that you used to populate the combobox, just tack on a field that has the name of the image you want displayed in the picturebox, then use a picturebox.Load to perform the function. Am …

To do something like this I would require an Internet connection and keep track of number of runs in an Access or SQL database based on the machine name on which the application is running and the application version number (or on a key created in the installation program and …

There is really not a safe way to save information "internally" in a program. Even the .NET My.Settings will be saved externally when changed. Virus protectors will not allow you to alter the data internal to an EXE, doing so will trigger an alert.
